Did you know you can use your scallop circle punch to create beautiful 3D Flowers? The card below (why is it that photos do not do your cards justice?), uses 6 scallop circle punches. Just punch onto any of your favourite Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers, scrunch them up like you are throwing them into the bin, place one inside the other and play with until it resembles the type of flower you want. I added whisper white strip, onto DSP, onto Rose Red card stock, punched out a sentiment onto white, added a scallop oval behind.
I've also had a lot of fun with brayering. While I am still trying to master the technique (and once again, camera does nothing for it), here is a little bit of what you can do with a brayer.
I have really loved creating men's cards with the brayer and basic scenery like the above. I have used soft sky (retired) and River Rock (coming back) with the brayer, stamped the image with chocolate chip, mounted on whisper white, baja breeze and kiwi kiss. Nice blend of colours I think.
Now I must apologise for not blogging for a while. I have had an extremely slow computer and sometimes, it was just too frustrating to sit there and do anything. Combine that with having three little ones and I just couldn't bring myself to do it!! So now, I have a new computer (woohoo), which I must say is soooo much faster than my old one (not sure why I waited so long) but anyway, I am enjoying my new found speed!!!

There has been so many rumours around a colour renovation, which has been confirmed. We farewell some really great colours but in return, we get some old favourites back (like River Rock, used in the brayered card above). Now is the time to get in and order your Stampin' Pads and/or refills as Stampin' Up! will now only be able to provide these colours while stocks last. So give me a call if you want to place an order to ensure that you get your favourites in before they all go!!
